• Provide workstation and DSE guidance once trained.
• Prepare and reset meeting rooms and shared spaces.
• Complete regular safety and housekeeping checks.
• Act as an emergency contact for occasional out-of-hours issues.
• Take on ad hoc tasks that come with running a large, innovative facility.

Qualifications:
• Experience in a facilities or similar role.
• Basic understanding of health and safety.
• Strong communication skills.
• Comfortable working independently and within a team.
• Awareness of building maintenance and confidence with small repairs.
• Forklift licence desirable but not required (training offered).
